Did you try vegan recipes? If you try some you can learn more about food. That happened to me.
I can't really relate because I got no problem with dairy products. But I recommend to cook and bake vegan to learn more about this.
There are lupin products which, in my opinion, taste really good. Did you try this? I think they are tastier than soy products.
Sorry, I am not a great help to you. But this is of interest for me so I will come back and check this thread.

It's tricky with food that is already made, though, at least here, the options for vegan "fast food" in supermarkets are getting bigger and bigger. You can get everything from vegan pizza to vegan

All I can think of is what I do when I am alone at home and too lazy to cook a proper meal just for myself: I just eat bread or bread rolls with stuff on it. It's fast to make and there are a couple of vegan options that you can put on the bread, like margarine, marmalade, guacamole, fried tofu and (at least here) also a ton of vegan cheese and meat substitutes and also a ton of vegan spreads.
I don't know how great the selection of things like these is where you live, but surely there mist be at least some?

There are also some cup noodles that are vegan, probably the closest substitute to your pasta pots? Though only very few are actually vegan (many often contain at least dried egg, if not milk) and I am not sure they are available where you live, but I did find some lists:

Or, if you feel very motivated, you could just pre-cook vegan pasta and freeze it in small portions.

When I had ulcers, I found oil to be an acceptable substitute for cooking and whatnot. Broccli is also my jam.

Pinterest is great for recipes. For quick meals, I eat a lot of vegetable tacos. I just throw any vegetables that taste good raw into a taco shell. I usually do spinach, tomato, mushroom, bell pepper, black olive, sometimes a little onion or radish. I eat a lot of beans, lettuce, and tomato with tortilla chips. I eat a lot of pasta with non-dairy butter and broccoli. Cold pasta salad with lots of tomato. Vegetable soup. Vegetable stew.

I also need to figure out some small snack options for when I'm out all day and need little bites now and then. Would be easier if I actually liked fruit or vegetables

Yes, that would be a lot easier. I was reading through this thread and was about to reply saying how great fruits and vegetables are and that you should try incorporating them more into your diet, they're great for snacks. I've been vegan for a while now and what I can definitely tell you is that having less options available to eat made me a lot more open-minded when it comes to food. For example, I didn't used to like bananas very much but now i eat them all the time. Vegan cheeses and other alternatives tend to be a bit expensive but you've still got a lot of variety for meals (pasta, bread, rice, noodles, potatoes can all be bases for some yummy meals with vegetables and spices ).

I'm not sure how well you've adjusted now, it's been a while since you posted, but if you need any help or want to know specific meals that I eat etc.. i can help you out some more.
